Print is far from dead, and the proof of that lies in the ever growing creativity found in world of independent publishing. We’re always keeping our eyes out for the newest publications to come out of Berlin, and while browsing one of our favorite book shops, Do you read me?, Nansen caught our attention. Their first issue, “Aydin Akin: Olé, Olé, Olé,” was released just last month (9.17) and tells the story of Turkish immigrant Aydin Akin, who came to Berlin almost 50 years ago and fights every day to improve the lives of Berlin’s many migrants. Through articles, photos and illustrations that cover everything from Akin’s personal efforts to a day at the dreaded (trust me, I’ve been there) Ausländerbehörde, the first issue of Nansen leaves us only wanting for more.
